THE SKY, ONCE BLUE, NOW BLEEDS WITH FIRE,
A HUSH HAS STILLED THE MORNING CHIOR.
THE OCEANS SIGH WITH BRINY BREATH,
AND WHISPER HYMNS OF ANCIENT DEATH.
THE TREES BOW LOW, THEIR LEAVES LIKE TEARS,
THEIR ROOTS GROWN DEEP WITH BURIED FEARS.
NO BIRD NOW DARES TO PIERCE THE GLOOM,
EACH BRANCH A CROSS, EACH HILL A TOMB.
THE SUN, A SWOLLEN, DYING FLAME,
REFUSES NOW TO PLAY THE GAME.
OF DAWN AND DUSK, OF LIGHT AND SHADE,
ITS GOLDEN PROMISES NOW SEEM TO FADE.
MOUNTAINS CRUMBLE INTO SAND,
TIME SLIPS LIKE ASH FROM GOD'S OWN HAND.
THE STARS BLINK OUT, ONE FINAL CALL,
A CURTAIN DRAWN ON HEAVEN'S HALL.
BUT IN THE SILENCE, SOMETHING SAYS;
A WHISPERED HOPE THROUGH CHOKING HAZE.
THAT LOVE ONCE SPARKED IN THE DARKEST NIGHT,
IT MIGHT STILL OUTLAST THE FADING LIGHT.

We fall not prey to ego’s ploy,
so we dwell in peace, full of joy.
Notice there’s no energy leak,
when dancing with love cheek to cheek.
The world external, we’ve let go,
having relinquished our ego,
yet we’re strong, not feeble and weak,
when dancing with love cheek to cheek.
Life is but a dream, played in jest,
wherein we’re ensconced in heart’s nest.
There’s no desire now left to seek,
when dancing with love cheek to cheek.
Love and light within heart abounds,
music of spheres in us resounds;
in streams of bliss we dip our beak,
when dancing with love cheek to cheek.

Love don't expire
No date, no age
No race, nothing.
Love knows no bounds
No religion
No status.
Love never done
If wrong, accept
But never lost.
Love hope success
It persevere
Never detract.

A girl, with wings of knowledge spread,
Soars high above, where dreams are bred.
The world of books, a boundless sky,
Where she can learn, and reach so high.
On each page she reads, a feather bright,
Adds to her wings, taking flight.
With the knowledge gained, her spirit free,
She conquers fears, and she will be.
The world awaits, with open arms,
For girls like her, with knowledge's charms.
With wings of knowledge, she'll ascend,
To reach her goals, and never bend.

Love conquers all
But the hateful will fall
Where true love comes to call
It can drench a fireball
Like a flame in the night
For lovers, it shines a light
It may go out of sight
But deep within, it glows bright
In pure heart, it will glow
Like water, it will flow
And even when rough wind will blow
It will just come to low
But it lives forever
Even when nights get colder
For, it comes even better
In stormy weather

The greatest weapon that Conquers all
The hatred is the seed of all wars from time
Love is the weapon that quells

Love conquers all
It's often been said
But recently more now than ever
It's so very obvious
Wherever I turn
Love enters my every endeavour
Always been in love
With the joy of love
Since Janice, my first ever crush
Grade two it was
Remember it well
Her life is filled with love I trust
There's been others
Not that many
A couple have never left my heart
Stayed with this guy
For all these years
Been in love with love from the start
It makes this old world
Keep spinning around
Can you imagine this place without love
I'd cash in my chips
Not worth the effort
Love and friendship go hand in glove

Peeling Roasted Peanuts
listening to the rain on a Saturday night
in April
the invisible sound
Knocks, shakes, wakes my heart
sleeping love
selfish, struggling for survival
scarred
I hug the old lover today
this woman in my arms
if i didn't choose
she will have no wounds
Before long, the scent of peanuts
the invisible scent
outside the window, the sound of rain late at night
becomes and spreads
street no one can see
who likes this night
on this street full of
loneliness of indifference
Who likes it.

we sat down at the table
started eating
we had a pleasant conversation
I reminisced about the past with a friendly heart
enjoyed the meal
But the one who sat before me
Couldn't tell the story coherently
the message is truncated
scattered into the air
Uncle next to me whispered
--I was cured of tuberculosis
by her in a town
where there were no doctors and nurses
which was severe in childhood--
"she has out of my mind."
Throughout the meal Time,
she was busy bringing delicious food
in my bowl.

We met at a reception just by chance.
Could it have been some sweet love at first sight?
I gave her a long penetrating glance
Orange hair, shapely cheeks and lips red bright.
I smiled, and invited her to dinner.
She accepted, and I felt elated
A lavish bistro, sure was a winner.
How grateful I felt that we had dated.
A bottle of white wine, and gourmet food,
Somehow we exchanged many of our views
Time came for us to part, but sad the mood,
She would not accept to meet, 'twas bad news.
I saw some tears that flowed down her sweet face.
I asked why, I had to really know
She was deaf an irreparable case.
She could only lip-read, life was a blow.
Gently I pushed her face next to my lips,
One loves despite all things that can be wrong.
We'll stay happy as written in our scripts.
Our lasting love will forever be strong.

If asked to repeat a time-honored passage
I would say it is that “Love Conquers All,”
For, whatever the situation, it is the message
If asked to repeat a time-honored passage,
I'd pass this adage in my far-advanced age:
“Love Conquers All,” sends a clarion call,
If asked to repeat a time-honored passage
I would say it is that “Love Conquers All!”

I'd bathe you in my Love,
sponsor you peace like a dove,
lotion you with my embrace,
so the sun's rays could kiss your face.
Though undeserving of what I give,
I'd teach you kindness, so you could receive,
be most vulnerable, cater to reciprocation,
appreciate me through this education.
I pride off my soulmate's teachings,
to share all I have, beyond my healings,
her listening skills have restored all hopes,
engaged are past troubles, regardless of who provokes.
True Love comes by the most random hour,
but it will teach you its unwavering power.

LOVE CONQUERS TIME
TIME IS QUITE HEARTLESS IT CARES NOT WHAT YOU THINK IT HAS NOT A CARE IF YOU SWIM OR YOU SINK
TIME SHOWS NO FAVOR, IT CAN NOT BE BOUGHT
IT CAN NOT BE BORROWED , A FRIEND IT IS NOT!
EACH MOMENT THAT COMES AND PASSES ON BY WILL NEVER RETURN OR CARE IF YOU CRY YOUR HOPES IT WILL CRUSH , YOUR THINGS TURN TO RUST, THERE’S NOTHING ABOUT IT DESERVING OF TRUST
LOVE ON THE OTHER HAND CARES A GREAT DEAL IT WORRIES AND WONDERS ON JUST HOW YOU FEEL . IT WANTS YOU TO HAVE ALL THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE LIKE LAUGHTER AND GOODNESS AND GODS PEACE AND LIGHT
TIME DOES HAVE A PURPOSE ALTHOUGH ITS QUITE MEAN IT TEACHES THE VALUE OF THINGS YET UNSEEN WHILE TIME WILL BETTAY YOU AND LEAVE YOU SO BARE LOVE WILL STAY WITH YOU AND RETURN ALL YOU SHARE
REMEMBER THAT TIME IS A GIFT FROM ABOVE
IT’S YOUR CHOICE HOW TO USE IT , I PRAY YOU CHOOSE LOVE . SO TREASURE THE TIME THAT YOU HAVE MY DEAR FRIEND, BUT ALWAYS REMEMBER LOVE WINS IN THE END.

in spite of hate abounding
emotional highs
with unceasing happiness
